Every time I see a new "love your spouse challenge" on Facebook, it triggers an involuntary eye roll. Not because I'm single, but because I know I'll be seeing seven days (YES, SEVEN) of gushy love posts about how much someone loves their spouse.
While I can appreciate the idea of this post, I think it would be completely adequate to post one picture of yourself and your doting spouse, ONE time to get your point across. I also understand that with all of the negativity and political hullabaloo going on, it's refreshing to see a positive post once in a while. But again, I just think it's too much.
A few nights ago, I reached my boiling point and posted "Let me know when the love your spouse challenge is over." It was then I learned that I am not alone. Hilarity ensued. I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard. I finally had to put my phone down at 11:30 p.m. and force myself to go to sleep. Not only were people posting their thoughts on the LYS challenge, nearly every other post/challenge that has circulated on Facebook was made fun of (thanks in large part to my brother). However, the winner in my book was my old (as in former, he's not an old dude) co-worker Rob when he posted "Jesus hates you if you don't like this post." Wow. My neighbor came in a close second place, however, when she said, "We're waiting for an "I tolerate my spouse" challenge. Ha ha!
So thanks for the laughs, friends.
And if anyone is/was offended by my opinions, just keep on scrolling...like I do every time I see a LYS Challenge.
